Homophobic commentary sparks outrage from Australian Winter Games viewers

What idiots! What do those people know about figure skating anway! If they don't see the beauty of Johnny skating, they at least should see the technical quality of it - he was great, both in the SP and LP. I at least hope they had to apologize for the rubbish they said! :sheesh:

I've taken to using an animated gif of Weir from Poker Face as my avatar on a non-figure skating forum. And I've gotten a torrent of abuse and threats over it. As a result, I've taken to populating my profile on that site with lots more Johnny Weir gifs. \o/ Johnny inspires the most virulent reactions in people, and I love him for it.
